Just got back from Japan and I'm already thinking about a second trip there.

But before that I probably will want to do a trip to Italy and one to Poland for genealogy stuff.

My trip to Japan was two weeks but now I think it might be a more efficient use of PTO to do two one week trips a year than one two week trips. At least until I switch jobs and have an opportunity to take a longer one between jobs.

Learned a few things from Japan, including not to go there during the summer and also it's probably worth not being so cheap with hotels and also that it's a good idea to include rest days on a longer trip.

If I go to Italy I can't decide if I would rather do Florence Rome and Naples or a Northern Italy trip to Venice during Carnival and then go skiing and see an Opera in Milan.

If I go to Poland I'm not sure if I would rather do the entire trip in Poland, or add on either Ukraine or Czechia.
